Who's interested in a Big Bang?

[valtyr]

The Reverse Big Bang is slouching towards a close (I was totally Late McLaterson, myself) and so it is time to start thinking about other challenges and fests and exchanges and all the good stuff we like. Obviously the fannish landscape has changed a little, and there are more general Avengers comms and challenges, so people may have other commitments. The mods bend with the will of the membership - do you fancy a Big Bang this summer, like we did last year? Perhaps you'd like to do something different, which you will specify in comments to this entry?

In the event of a Big Bang, I was thinking signups this month, writing in June, July and August, art in September, posting in October, min length 25k.

So, talk to me. :) What would you like to do?

Happy to help :D

a OSM from my experience is basically where people post a single sentence as a prompt and depending on the rules other posters fill that prompt. Typically it's done with fic, a person writes one sentence then another bases a fic on that one sentence. But there are other ways to fill it to through art, gifs, graphics, and vids too. :) As for a good time when to hold watch posts personally I would assume summer would be a decent time, account for different timezones, have some streaming links available, and even a poll if people would be interested and what time they'd like to hold one.

oh gosh I hope it doesn't sound like I'm being pushy D:

Not at all pushy, we ask for input because we want ideas! An OSM sounds like fun - I think we're going to do a drabble-off in June, so maybe July for that.

Watching parties sound great, but I'm totally at sea with how we do streaming links?

Oh good I figured, hell I've been in so many fandoms over the years so why don't I finally take a step out of lurking within comic fandom lol. Especially since I've been writing so much comic fic :P But really always glad to help, you MODs do a great job with this comm it's one of my faves because it's just so well moderated (and really that's so very much appreciated other comms could learn from you).

I'll research where another comm gets their streaming links and such cause I honestly don't know off the top of my head sorry :(

[valtyr]

That would be really helpful, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying the comm - it's comics that got me to stop lurking, too. :D

No problem! I really am comics are a steady growing fandom with all the new outlets there are like LJ, AO3, and tumblr especially. I mean it's always been a fandom but never one with a lot of activity from what I saw/lurked in. But with so much new interest it's gaining in activity and I've been trying to push people on my dash to get more into comics. The Avengers movie has certainly helped lol.
